Desperate parents appeal to public to help fund $150k return flight for dying teen

The parents of a dying Australian teenager have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help raise $U150,000 ($A211,720) for a medical flight to bring her home from the US.

Phelicity Sneesby, 13, has been forced to travel between NSW and the US for most of her life so that she could receive the best treatment for a congenital heart defect.

Born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Phelicity has since developed an additional condition that depletes protein from her intestines and affects her immune system.

As a result, Phelicity is slowly dying, and her parents Veronica and Ben Sneesby would like to fulfil their daughter’s “final wish” by bringing her home from an cardiac intensive care unit in Ohio.

Faced already with a range of medical bills, the Sneesby family have turned to crowdfunding in order to raise the staggering $U150,000 for required the medical flight – or at the very least, raise funds to support the family.

The “Help a brave girl get home” campaign, launched on January 26, has already managed to raise $U116,600 ($A164,578) of the total figure.

“Our little darling's journey is coming to an end," Mr Sneesby wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday.
